Abstract

HyET Solar (HyET), established in 2012, is a small business developing a thin-film silicon solar photovoltaic (PV) product called "Power Foil" that can be mounted directly on the constructed earthen dykes. HyET's goals are for low-cost, efficient, generation of PV electricity at utility scale. HyET has requested assistance from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to evaluate the performance of the Power Foil product in several outdoor environments, with a particular focus on 1) heat effects on efficiency and 2) heat and UV effects on reliability and durability. NREL has been working on PV module testing at laboratory scale for more than 40 years, and has the equipment and facilities required to provide the PV material testing required.
